After completing your two-year ECT induction, you'll enter the appraisal process. Now is the time to consolidate your practice and develop your expertise through engaging with subject networks, curriculum hubs and programmes with our EEF Research School.

Working with your in-school mentor, you will identify an area of practice to develop over the year and explore through a practitioner enquiry model. 

Explore the evidence around your area of focus in a group session with other colleagues, facilitated by our Research School. You will be supported to  articles, research, observing best practice

In the second facilitated session, you will be supported to complete an action plan to address your identified focus area, including how to evaluate the impact of any change that you make in the classroom. 

Share what you have found in a supportive, collaborative workshop at our annual summer conference
